Yeah, wheels and tires need to be picked when doing our chassis or else we don't know how wide to set the rear clip or what hub track width to use. But when designing a suspension from scratch, only a range of wheel sizes and backspacing is needed...instead of designing the suspension around an existing set, which only puts limitations on the design and will more likely be less than optimum.

Heh, who does Art think he is, anyway? (just kidding!)
